Drabbles, ficlets, snippets

gilascaveI can never decide whether to post my drabbles/ficlets in my other LJ, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
zortified, or here. Esp. when I make the offers to write them in zortified. Usually I post them there because I don't consider them "real" stories and don't want to bug my "fic only" readers. (There is a lot of non-overlap between the two LJs.) But still, I realise that people who want to read stories are also likely to want to read drabbles and ficlets. But if I post here and not there, people who asked for them might not see them. And I already know how well it would go if I told myself I'd just double post. Yeah. You do recall how well I did just archiving my own stuff on a website? Which is why I now have an archivist to do it for me?
So. I've been having this dilemma for, oh, years now. And today my brain gives me a solution: a new LJ for drabble requests and posting responses.

I realise some folks might not be keen on friending yet another LJ. But this solutions will work best for me - lets me avoid "clogging up" my "real" fic LJ with snippets, and yet makes it easy for my "here to read your fic only" readers to read my drabbles and snippets as well as stories, without having to bother with my non-fiction LJ.
